In a bizarre discovery, the beach cleaners were left stunned when they stumbled upon a "large strange creature" in the middle of a litter pick-up.
The weird, alien-looking species was 5 feet (1.5 metres) long and had washed up at Dueodde Beach, which is on the southernmost tip of the Danish island Bornholm.
After the beach cleaners picked it up, they realised how heavy the object was.
Experts suggest that it's not a 'sea snake'
It was initially believed that the object was a "sea snake", however, the experts clarified that it was not a sea snake but the penis of a humpback whale.

The body part of the whale was found by beach cleaners René Vilsholm, Morten Gebhardt and Kenneth Nielsen when they were collecting rubbish at their local beach, after which they reached out to local conservation group NaturBornholm which confirmed its true nature.
"It was a different day at work," said NaturBornholm in anInstagram postas it shared the photos of the penis.
"A big weird creature washed up on land close to Snogebaek on Monday.It turned out, after some speculation, to be a penis belonging to the young humpback whalethat washed up at Dueodde in south Bornholmearlier this year," it added.
However, it remained unclear how the member got detached.

NaturBornholm, which is based in Aakirkeby, Denmark, has decided to further analyse the body part which has been kept in a freezer as of now.
Generally, the penis of a humpback whale can be up to 10 feet long and is concealed inside the ‘genital slit’ of the animal, which is located close to the belly of the whale.
According to the Hawaii-based nonprofit organisation Pacific Whale Foundation, it is very rare to find the penis of a whale extruded from the slit.
Footage has been shared by the foundation in which the humpback whale is seen swimming with its penis extruded, which they stated is "a rare and fascinating sight".
